Biografie
George Hastings Inskip was an officer in the Surveying Service of the Royal Navy. From 1846 to 1850, he served as the second master of HMS Rattlesnake surveying coastlines in South East Australia, the Torres Strait, and the South coast of New Guinea. From 1952 to 1855, he served as master of HMS Virago on the Canadian Forces Pacific doing extensive surveys in the waters of what would become British Columbia. In 1874, he retired in the rank of Captain.
Captain Inskip’s “Remarks Books” (private journals) covering his time on the northwest coast are currently being held at the BC Archives in Victoria, BC. “HMS Virago in the Pacific 1851-1855” written by G.P. and H.B. Akrigg in 1922 is based on these record books.
